Notes:
-- Some static from TIFTOO through reel flip in Born Cross-Eyed
-- Reel flip in Born Cross-Eyed
-- Reel flip in Caution
-- I'm guessing that the vocals from Caution were lost in the reel flip

68 dead
The energy here is what would define the 68 period dead. I agree with whoever said that 68 is where the dead get really good. It can be quite a surprise
...
when you go back to this after 70's and onward periods. There's no country and cowboy stuff here, just pure acid psychedelia. The often terrible vocal ranges are a sure way of knowing these guys were here to jam. And they deliver on that never spoken promise. Right of the bat, Jerry coughing up his lungs on the first vocal brings that playful energy you'd find if you encountered the Merry Pranksters. And they just build on that, zig zagging between psychedelic jams that will melt your mind and the upbeat, jester like lyricism, which will counterpoint everything with some devilish Fun™. So what are you waiting for? Get high and dance the night away, you newer know how many more remain.

This Is A Really Good Show, But...
This is a really good show. The playing is simply stunning and the set list is impressive. I would recommend this (and do), but beware that the mix is
...
uneven. We lose vocals (usually Jerry's), probably due to the small size of the venue and the mix required to keep things even in the hall. Even so... a great listen!

GRATEFUL DEAD. "ALLIGATOR" is incredible. You have to have it. "AlLIGATOR"!!!! The two "Feedbacks" here are awsome. Classic 1968 sound! Wonderful performances from the Album "ANTHEM OF THE SUN". Charlie Miller did it again. Click on his name and collect all his GRATEFUL DEAD shows, he has impeccable taste. Remember to also click on the "Deadlists Project" and collect the posters and ticket stubs that sometimes appear for each show. Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.

Another Miller Diamond
Whatever we did to deserve the results of Sir Charlie "The Most Excellent" Miller's efforts, I hope we keep it up. This is very tasty and why I like '68.

Gator is visceral. IMO one of the best versions of Born Cross-Eyed out there. And what can you say about Spanish Jam to the end?? It's like riding a surfboard down an avalanche.
